Av urthei-ob-ject of the invention is the provision of a` cabinet` 'of this character which isnextremely simple in construction, readily and easily portable from one point Vto another, neat and-.attractive in appearance, and .n-expensive in manufacture.

With these and other objectsinview, the

invention consistsin the construction, comhina-tion and arrangement of bef hereinafter fully describe illustrated in the accompanyin'gdrawing, andppointed out in the .claim hereunto appended.

Securedto the -inner face of vthe door 11 areintermiediate and outer supporting strips 13 and 1-1 respectively, said strips being ar- 'ranged transversely of the door, and lon which rests a bath tub 15 which'is of any ordinary well-knowny construction, having f a waste'pipe 1G extending through the door known construction connected to a retaining chain 19 fixed to the tub 15 in any suitable manner. i 'l 1 'The tub 15 is secured to the door 11l by means of securing members 20 which are fastened thereto and to the door, Formed inthe door 11 at the outer side thereof is 'a recess 22h11 which` is adapted to be re- -ceived'a leg 21 which serves to support the l said door 11 in horizontal position when open. The bottom of the cabinet A carries at'the corners casters23 which permit the rolling of the same from one point to anol'lier, thereby rendering the cabinet porta e.v

Fixed to the "backwallof the cabinet A .near the top-,thereofis a flexible canopy coveringllA which serves'asa curtain, and is also connected Vtoa'propfra-me .25 connected for swinging movement by means of hinges 26 to a cross bar 27`secured` to one end of the tub 15, vthe 'prop frame being provided with swinging-brace legs 12S which are adapted to engage the notches'29 formed in the up'- -per edge of the casing for the tub '15 so as to hold the frame upright.
